N2  - The depletion of fossil fuels and the increasing demand for sustainable materials  have driven research into renewable alternatives, leading to the development of biopolyurethane foams from methacrylated lignin and acrylated epoxidized palm oil  (AEPO). Synthesized with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and characterized through  Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA),  and mechanical testing, the results indicated that incorporating methacrylated lignin  improved mechanical strength and thermal stability, while AEPO enhanced  crosslinking, rigidity, and high-temperature stability. Optimal AEPO-lignin ratios  yielded foams with superior stiffness, structural integrity, and thermal resistance;  however, excessive lignin reduced density, increased brittleness, and limited water  absorption due to decreased porosity. Water uptake analysis demonstrated a balance  between hydrophilicity and crosslinking, with some compositions exceeding 280%  saturation, while mechanical testing revealed that balanced formulations provided  better load-bearing capacities compared to those with high lignin content, which  compromised performance. Overall, the study highlights the potential of lignin and  AEPO-based polyurethane foams as promising sustainable alternatives with tailored  properties for various industrial applications
